Veteran's day is something of a sombre occasion over here. It's not a public holiday, per se. But we have a 2 minute silence at around 11am to commemorate those who fought and were lost in comflict.

It's kind of strange how a deep silence falls over the entirety of England when that happens... Nobody talks, people on foot stand still where they are.

Even in callcentres we turn the phones off for a bit so we can observe it.

I always make sure to hold the two minute silence where I can.

Now wait a minute Kit, why would they have a moment of silence for people who are still alive?

I mean, Veteran's day celebrates those who are still alive after the wars and Memorial day is for the ones that died, right?

Or maybe it's just a British thing that I don't get.
